Music plays an important role in our lives, especially the lyrics. This blog will display the lyrics of my favorite songs. I am descended from a sept of the clan Gunn of Scotland, so I will post a lot of Scottish folk song lyrics. Enjoy.

FAREWELL TO NOVA SCOTIA

Chorus:Farewell to Nova Scotia, you seabound coastLet your mountains dark and dreary beFor when I am far away on the brimy ocean tossedWill you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?

The sun was setting in the westThe birds were singing on every treeAll nature seemed inclined for to restBut still there was no rest for me

I grieve to leave my native landI grieve to leave my comrades allAnd my parents, whom I held so dearAnd my bonny, bonny lassie that I loved so well

The drums do beat and the wars do alarmMy captain calls, I must obeySo farewell, farewell to Nova Scotia's charmFor it's early in the morning, I'll be far, far away

I have three brothers and they are at restTheir arms are folded on their breastsBut a poor and simple sailor just like meMust be tossed and driven on the dark, blue sea
